Original Italian Stovetop Espresso Maker

The Bialetti Moka Express is the original stovetop espresso maker invented in 1933. It brews rich Italian coffee on gas, electric, or induction hobs with an adapter plate. This 3-cup model suits a solo drinker or a couple who want authentic espresso-sized servings. It is not for buyers who want larger mug volumes or fully automatic brewing.

Simple Setup and Cleaning

Fill the boiler with water up to the safety valve, add ground coffee without pressing, and heat until it gurgles. The patented safety valve makes cleaning easy — just rinse with water, no detergents or dishwasher. The only common issue is overfilling past the valve or pressing the coffee, which blocks the flow.

3-Cup Capacity Defines the Yield

This model produces three espresso cups per brew, measured in traditional Italian espresso portions. Choose this size if that volume matches your daily routine; larger households or frequent entertainers will need a bigger pot.

Questions about this item

How do I know the Moka Express 0001162 is brewing correctly on my gas stove?

When the coffee starts to gurgle and rise into the top chamber, the brewing cycle is complete; remove it from the heat immediately to avoid over-extraction.

What comes with the 3-cup aluminium model and what must I supply?

The pot includes the boiler, funnel filter, and upper chamber with patented safety valve; you supply ground coffee, water, and a heat source such as gas, electric, or an induction adapter plate.

Which Moka Express capacity suits a household that drinks two espresso cups each morning?

The 3-cup size yields roughly three espresso cups per brew, covering two servings with a little extra; larger 6, 9, 12, or 18-cup models are meant for bigger groups.
